Imagine there being a website so popular that game console manufacturers put a dedicated button on their controllers to take and post screenshots and then you fuck the website up so much that they disable it

As of June 10, 2024, it will no longer be possible to post screenshots and videos to X (formerly Twitter) from the Nintendo Switch's Album, or send friend requests to social media users via the Friend Suggestions feature. Find out more: ninten.do/6010YVr2a
Devil's advocate: Given how many old TVs there are out there that are still working and have dedicated buttons for long-dead streaming services, is this really that a big of a deal? The moral of the story is don't put dedicated buttons that go to services you don't control on your products. But that'll never happen...
One difference being that Twitter is not (technically) dead - Nintendo Is removing support for a service that continues to exist, presumably because they don't want to be associated with it.
Had nothing to do with association, unfortunately:

This should be top comment.
Thanks! Thank god Twitter is so dead set on killing itself it doesn't even need people or companies to make even the simplest moral decisions to leave it.
